2. THESIS IN LATEX
In addition to the LaTeX and LyX templates linked to on the Faculty of Graduate Studies website (see above), there are other sources of thesis templates for LaTeX users.
The generic thesis class files can be downloaded from here:
ubcthesis.cls
genthesis.cls
Graduate students in Mathematics have used the following tex and style files:
ubcmath-thesis.tex
ubcmath-thesis.sty
ubcmath-thesis-calc.sty
In 2006, Adriana Tamae Dawes, a former UKAAM and Mathematics PhD student, posted sample LaTeX files of various thesis parts on her old IAM web page:

In 1995, Anders Svensson, a former graduate student of the UBC Department of Mathematics, developed thesis and examination programme classes for LaTeX2e. These files can be used as templates for graduate theses as well as for the preparation of the final oral examination programme in LaTeX by doctoral candidates.
